5
Technology Shapes Our Lives
  • We are all doing things we never imagined
  • We are absolutely hooked on technology
  • Few people understand technology

6
The Problem
  • Graduating technologically illiterate students
  • Haves and have-nots
  • Global competition
  • Competition for careers
  • High-stakes testing
  • Escalating rate of
  • change
  • Isolated classrooms

7
Standards for Technological Literacy Content for
the Study of Technology
8
Some Clarification
  • Technology is the modification of the natural
    environment in order to satisfy perceived human
    needs and wants.
  • Technological literacy is the ability to use,
    manage, assess, and understand technology.
  • Is Technological Literacy Possible?

9
What Can Technologically Literate People Do?
  • Evaluate technological information
  • Form opinions about technology
  • Assess technological value (or the lack of value)
  • Exhibit a level of comfort with technology
  • Neither afraid, nor infatuated
  • Understand how technology is created
  • Understand how technology shapes society and is
    shaped by society

10
Whats The Focus?
The Nature of Technology
  • The characteristics and scope of technology
  • The core concepts of technology
  • The relationships among technologies and the
    connections between technology and other fields
    of study
  • The cultural, social, economic, and political
    effects of technology
  • The effects of technology on the environment
  • The role of society in the development and use of
    technology
  • The influence of technology on history

Technology and Society
Design
  • The attributes of design
  • Engineering design
  • The role of troubleshooting, research and
    development, invention and innovation, and
    experimentation in problem solving

11
Whats The Focus?
Abilities for A Technological World
  • Apply the design process
  • Use and maintain technological products and
    systems
  • Assess the impact of products and systems
  • Medical technologies
  • Agricultural and related biotechnologies
  • Energy and power technologies
  • Information and communication technologies
  • Transportation technologies
  • Manufacturing technologies
  • Construction technologies

The Designed World
12
Why use engineering design to teach about
technology?
  • Design is to technology as inquiry is to science
    and reading is to language arts
  • Delivers critical thinking and innovation
  • Allows for the application of technical knowledge
  • Expands levels of creativity
  • Examines the technological impacts on society,
    cultures, and environment

13
What are the primary concepts taught through the
use of engineering design in the classroom?
  • Working as a Team
  • Defining the problem
  • Brainstorming
  • Conducting Researching
  • Generating Ideas
  • Identifying Criteria
  • Specifying constraints
  • Exploring possibilities
  • Selecting Approaches
  • Developing Proposals
  • Making a Model/prototype
  • Evaluating a design using specifications
  • Assessing a Solution
  • Refining a design
  • Creating or making products
  • Communicating results

14
Methods Used to Deliver Engineering Design
  • Engineering design is delivered in the classroom
    using technological problem solving.
  • Design Problem Solving
  • Invention/Innovation
  • Research Development
  • Experimentation
  • Troubleshooting
